Inspired by the positive difference that Three Cs makes to people’s lives, our very own Trustee, Divyajeevan Sahoo (Jeev), is running the Edinburgh Marathon on 27th May 2018. He is hoping to raise £1000 for Three Seeds, a new employment, enterprise and empowerment project in partnership with Café van Gogh. On subjects as diverse as mind chatter, emergency services and foam rollers, Jo caught up with Jeev to find out how his training is going.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) rightly gets a bad press when it involves tokenistic gestures by big corporates seeking to pacify government and public opinion in the cause of profit. Even well-meaning companies can misfire awkwardly in the cause of CSR. Like the rookie company offering to teach a 200 year old charity and it’s grandmother how to suck ‘business survival’ eggs (awks), or an unskilled team painting a whole community centre, badly, in the cause of saving a local charity time and money (not).
